Fast descent in GPS/ATTI mode

[jotto]

I have set my DJI Naza "Cut Off type" to "Intelligent mode". My understanding is that the motors will not stop even when setting throttle to 0%, unless i land or the quad for some reason tips over (more than 70 degrees angle). Is this correct?

Furthermore, if I understand this setting correctly, it is safe to descent fast by moving the throttle stick to 0% until I have reached the desired height. Is this correct?

Yes and Yes, at 0 stick it will drop like a rock, and it usually takes a pretty good throttle punch to stop the rapid decent. Practice giving yourself some altitude otherwise get ready to kiss mother earth. If you perform the same actions using immediate shut off you will crash, ask me how I know:nevreness:

Hehe

Yeah, I know that I will need some distance to stop the decent. That's fine, but I don't want to risk stopping the motors. Thanks!
